Being among the smallest packaged MOSFET drivers available enables higher power densities and smaller solutions. An entirely new driver architecture for high-speed operation targets fast transitions and short delay times that allow for responsive circuit operation.
The MCP14A005X and MCP14A015X include low input threshold voltages that are compatible with various low voltage Microchip PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs, while still maintaining strong noise immunity and hysteresis. Reducing power loss in the controller and minimising conduction loss in the power MOSFET, this facilitates applications with MCUs operating as low as 2.0V, using the MOSFET driver to boost the output signals to 18V.
The MCP14A005X and MCP14A015X are available now for sampling and volume production.
